Author Adams To Speak On Heart Disease At 'Holiday Tea'
July 28, 2016 at 4:25 p.m.
Marcia Adams, nationally known food columnist and cookbook author, will be the featured speaker Wednesday at the Wreath of Hope Holiday Tea.
Adams, who lives in Fort Wayne, said she expects to talk about Christmas entertaining and about her most recent book, "Marcia Adams: Heart to Heart."
She also may touch on a subject that is, quite literally, close to her heart - organ donations and heart disease in women. In April she received a heart transplant after suffering from a virus that attacked her heart in 1993.
Adams said Friday her heart condition is "marvelous." Her mission now is to educate women through her books, TV shows and a grass-roots organization, HeartStrings, on the signs and frequency of heart disease.
"We're out to rattle cages," she said. "Heart disease is the No. 1 killer of women - breast cancer is No. 7. Heart disease kills more women than men ... and women's symptoms are totally different from men's symptoms. Some doctors are not properly trained on the differences."
Her passion to spread the word on heart disease led to her new book, "Marcia Adams: Heart Anew," which will be out in February and is a continuation of the autobiographical story she began in "Heart to Heart."
While both books concentrate on her heart disease and subsequent transplant, she said they still contain recipes and her thoughts on food.
"Food runs throughout my life totally," she said.
She develops her own recipes and requires no special diet. "I can eat normally as I always have," she said. "I have always believed that moderation is the key."
Warsaw residents may remember a food column Adams wrote for the Times-Union from 1983-93.
"I wrote my first cookbook while living in Warsaw," she said.
She also was active in volunteer work while she lived here, she said, starting the Winona Lake Preservation Association, which planned the garden at the entrance of Winona Lake, and arranging the first boat-in church services on Winona Lake.
Volunteer work is one thing she's regretfully given up as she's gotten busier. "I miss volunteer work dreadfully," she said.
She will return to Warsaw for the Wreath of Hope Holiday Tea Wednesday from 2 to 4 p.m. in Center Lake Pavilion. Proceeds will benefit the Cardinal Center. [[In-content Ad]]
